Driving Tips for Corfu
Driving in Corfu is a unique and enjoyable experience, but its narrow roads and hilly terrain require careful navigation. Here are some helpful tips:
- Drive on the right side of the road: As in the rest of Greece, vehicles in Corfu drive on the right.
- Observe speed limits: Speed limits are typically 50 km/h in towns, 90 km/h on rural roads, and lower in mountainous areas.
- Be prepared for narrow roads: Many village roads are narrow and winding. Take extra care when navigating tight corners or passing other vehicles.
- Parking in Corfu Town: Parking can be limited, especially in the old town area. Look for designated parking areas or arrive early for a spot.
- Be cautious of scooters and pedestrians: Corfu’s roads are shared with numerous scooters and pedestrians, particularly in busy tourist areas.
- Plan fuel stops: Fuel stations may be sparse in remote areas, so ensure your tank is sufficiently filled before heading out.
- Watch for local signage: Signs can sometimes be in Greek, so having a GPS or map app can be extremely helpful.

Good to know when renting in Corfu
In Greece the minimum age for car hire is 21 years old; you must hold a valid licence for at least a year, and the selection of cars will be limited.
If you choose to ‘pay later’ during the booking phase than cancellation is free any time up to the day of booking, as we understand journeys can change.
If you are planning on leaving the car at a different SIXT branch simply select a separate location during booking to see if this is available.
